The stunning Ariel Pearl Center, a hidden jewel in the heart of Old Brooklyn! Located in a beautiful historic 1923 bank building, it features marble columns and floors, bank vaults, stone walls, large arched windows under an intricate decorative plaster work ceiling with magnificent crystal chandeliers. This stunning historic building was built in 1923 as the Pearl Street Savings & Trust Bank, which was designed by the famous architects Hubbell and Benes, who also designed the Cleveland Museum of Art, West Side Market, City Club, Masonic Temple and other famous historic buildings. The first floor of the Ariel Pearl Center has been converted to a beautiful event center which includes the Grand Hall with Rotunda and Vault, Cocktail Room, and Fireplace Room.

Really wonderful, affordable and gorgeous venue. They allowed us into the space a full day early to set up and use some of their decor for a floral installation. The service team was absolutely wonderful from the event management team to the bartenders to the security. We saved thousands by being able to bring in our own alcohol.

We couldn’t have been happier to have our August wedding here! We live in Los Angeles so planning a wedding across the country would have been challenging if it wasn’t for the amazing Natalia and venue! Anything we needed or asked for was easily provided and it turned out beautifully for us and all our guests who came in stayed from out of town! We shopped around a lot of downtown venues and for what you get for the price we couldn’t have found a better place!

We had a fantastic experience hosting our wedding at the House of Blues Cleveland. The venue offers a unique, vintage vibe that perfectly matched the aesthetic we were going for. Haley and her team were communicative, direct, and thoughtful every step of the way. They made sure we understood all the details and helped us create a smooth, stress-free wedding day. The all-inclusive wedding package was a great value - it covered everything from decor to catering to extra rehearsal time before so we could practice our first dance. On the big day itself, Haley and staff were attentive without being overbearing. They made sure we wanted for nothing. The vintage, rock and roll atmosphere was full of warmth and joy. We highly recommend the House of Blues Cleveland for couples looking to celebrate their marriage in style!

We had our wedding here last week (2.24.24) and I cannot thank the staff enough. I knew when we started wedding planning that I wanted a warehouse vibe and Lake Affect Studios was the first place we actually went to look at and I fell in love. From the beautiful lighting fixtures, the bar, gorgeous wood floors, windows, private wedding party space and the separate ceremony area I knew I wanted to have my wedding and reception here. (Even the bathrooms took my breath away.) I loved that they offered tables and chairs and it allowed me to be creative with my diy vision. Throughout wedding planning, Amanda and Stefanie were so helpful in making my dreams come to life. On actual wedding day everything was absolutely flawless and I was blown away in every possible way. The bartenders were so nice and we got so many compliments on the service and how gorgeous the space was. I will recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for an alternative to the classic ballroom type wedding. It was everything I wanted and more. Thank you so much. - Rachel & Pete

Originally built in the early 1900s for luxury faucet manufacturing, the 22,000 square foot warehouse sat empty for decades.

As event vendors ourselves, we designed The Madison to be the best parts of every cool venue we’ve ever worked from Seattle to New York City and Chicago to the Caribbean. In 2018, we reopened the restored space The Madison. We quickly gained acclaim from the area’s top event planners, community collaborators, and even local professional athletes. As Northeast Ohio’s premier event venue, our mission is to cultivate human connection and life’s treasured moments.

I cannot give this venue enough praise! We had the most incredible experience at The Madison for our wedding. From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations in every way and I only have Daryl and Anthony to thank for that. The space is absolutely stunning. I loved that it is a blank slate and that we could decorate it how we wanted. The creative freedom was important to me. Daryl and Anthony are exceptional! They were super understanding when we needed to reschedule and were super easy and fun to work with. We highly recommend The Madison to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free (no literally, I was so calm) wedding day. We will forever cherish the memories that were made here and we are so thankful for everything Daryl and Anthony did to make our day so magical. 3

Five fun facts about the Lake Erie Building: 1. We were originally built to be Templar Motors back in 1917. There were less than 3,000 of these cars ever manufactured and if you look carefully, you may even be able to spot one while in the event space! 2. Omni Lakewood purchased the building in 2005 and now manages the building, which has been divided into individual suites that are home to over 100 businesses. 3. The west parking lot where our dock is located used to be a test track for Templar Motors. 4. We host only one event per weekend and give our clients access beginning on Wednesday so they can bring in all their personal touches! We also only require cards and gifts go with them that night and everything else can stay giving you more time to spend with your new spouse! 5. We include a private parking lot and have a huge municipal lot across the street that's available to guests. (If you know of Lakewood, you know parking is a hot commodity)

We - and our budget - also loved all the extras that came with their venue rental. The spaces are beautiful, and they were super accommodating when the weather did not permit an outdoor ceremony (classic Cleveland) and provided and set up a second room for us! Our guests all raved about the food and service, and enjoyed the custom menu we created. Overall 11/10 experience, and would definitely plan an event there again!

Hale Farm and Village was everything I could have dreamed of for our special day and more. The beautiful site was unique and every guest raved over the location. Even with the rain, it was stunning. Our wedding was on 9/28/24 so the property was open to the public during the day, but not very busy. We used the east side of the property and it was beyond picture perfect. The pavilion set the most perfect vibes for our reception, and the area behind the Herrick House was a dream come true for our ceremony. My husband and I did a first look and private vows in front of the yellow house, and were able to take photos on the entire property. It was MAGICAL to say the least. But this review is mostly for the AMAZING Miss Dotty. About two months before my wedding, I was notified that the person I had been in contact with and had been planning with was no longer with HF. Obviously, I was stressed and nervous to say the least. But once Dotty was brought on, and after one meeting with her my fears subsided. This amazing person did EVERYTHING in her power to help me achieve the wedding of my dreams. She came up with solutions to any issues, she offered ideas and thoughts for any question I had. This woman worked her butt off the day of my wedding!! With the change in staffing, and promises made from the prior, Dotty went above and beyond to make things happen. She also had a second wedding on the west side of the property the same day, and Dotty seemed to always be around when I needed something. When my ceremony was 45 minutes late... no fault of HF or Dotty (family drama)... and I was on the verge of a breakdown, Dotty came over to me and asked "you want to hear a funny story?" and continued to tell me something funny to distract me, and make me laugh. She made sure I wasn't too shiny from the stress sweat, and helped get things back on track. At one point she had the help of a young man named Alex (I hope that's right) who was just as kind and helpful as she was. Both helped with set up, and tear down. Alex helped fluff my dress before I walked at the ceremony as Dotty was closing and opening the entrance doors for me. They both seemed to make sure that everything could go as best as it could. I know for a fact this day would not have happened, and would not have been as amazing as it was, if not for Dotty. She is a superhero. Hale Farm and Village was truly a dream come true venue for us and our special day. But Dotty was a rock star and I am forever grateful for her, her hard work, and her kindness from the moment I met her. Thank you!!!

Over the years Skyview Lodge has held countless events. The building was renovated again in 2001 to expand its capacity and continue building upon the success of the hall rentals. Skyview Lodge heads into its 3rd generation of family ownership & tradition with big plans on the horizon! We look forward to you becoming part of our rich history!

Jordan and Donna were so helpful from the beginning. Easy to work with, kind and very communicative whenever I had questions. The venue itself is beautiful, we got so many compliments on the ceremony space and we did very minimal decoration.

We absolutely loved our wedding venue at both the Chapel and Hotel for Grand Pacific Junction. The two venue coordinators, Jessica and Erinn, were very knowledgeable and helped keep the event running smoothly. They went above and beyond with various scheduling and logistic challenges among our vendors. The space in the hotel itself was beautiful and required very little decorations to bring it to life. There were two restrooms downstairs and one upstairs. For our 100ish person wedding, I was worried bathrooms would be a logistic issue, but it was not! The bar was our favorite part of the venue with its vintage style and wide layout, so bar lines were never a problem. Every one of their recommended vendors exceeded our expectations. If I were to give advice to another couple looking to book Grand Pacific Junction, my only suggestion is keep in mind you likely won't have access earlier than the contracted time period, so adjust accordingly and keep your decorations simple, or better yet hire or appoint someone to do them! Decorations took longer than expected, and it altered the photography timeline which wasn't a big deal, but do keep it in mind. Thanks again to Jessica and Erinn for keeping everything running smoothly in the background and making sure my husband and I were truly hands off and enjoying ourselves the entire evening.

We had a fabulous wedding reception at the Donauschwaben German Cultural Center (Lenau Park). Their entire staff—from their awesome coordinator Christine to their banquet captain and bar staff—was so kind, so professional, and most importantly made our guests feel welcome and taken care of. Christine came to every meeting organized and prepared. She understands the details as well as the emotions that go into planning a wedding and was a great part of our support system. She is fair and reasonable—even helped us make a German Hall a little more “Italian” for the bride. We could not have asked for a better partner! As for the venue itself, it was the perfect place to host 300 of our closest friends and family. The space was beautiful, bright and happy. Our guests were comfortably seated at 32 round tables of 8 to 10. The team made all of our décor visions come to life. The outdoor patio was welcoming and comfortable for guests as well. The dance floor is huge! Perfect for an Italian tarantella. I would also say the room is set up well acoustically—with 300 people in the room and music playing, you could still hear the other people at your table. The entryway was also perfect for our receiving line. We were happy to see that guests could enjoy their time—whether they wanted to dance the night away, sit and chat, or just enjoy the night air with family. The food was excellent—seriously excellent. We got so many compliments after the wedding! They have their buffet line down to a science with all of our guests being served in a reasonable amount of time. They also did a great job of meeting the needs of our gluten- and dairy-free guests. That is so hard to do when you are feeding so many people, and even these guests said they enjoyed their meals. Finally, the money we spent on this wedding reception was well worth the value. The food and beverage packages are incredibly fair for the quality and the amount of food your guests will be served. We were also able to add appetizers and some special add-ons at a reasonable rate. The linens are provided by a separate vendor, but even those costs were not too bad, and everything looked beautiful when it was decorated! While there are certain rules the venue must follow and sometimes we needed to negotiate the details, Christine was highly transparent and upfront with us, and always worked with us to find the right solution for our day. After hosting our wedding here, we would absolutely do it again with this space and this team. When it comes to the Donauschwaben, we strongly recommend them for your wedding reception and cannot say enough good things about their level of service!

I would highly recommend Bath Hollow Farm to any couple that is getting married. This venue was perfect for the type of wedding we wanted. We had access to the venue for the entire weekend, which meant we had our rehearsal, reception and goodbye breakfast all at the same place. The night before the wedding my bridal party and myself stayed at the air bnb and were able to relax before the big day and get ready right at the venue. Melissa and Brett were amazing to work with, always responding to my emails. They were flexible, accommodating and supportive of our vision. All of our guests raved about the venue and how perfect it was. We truly had the most perfect wedding day and a huge part of that was having our wedding at Bath Hollow Farm.

Whitehall Columbia was the perfect venue for our wedding! The communication with their event coordinator, Julia, was always easy, fast, and professional which made the wedding planning and day everything we have always wanted. The venue itself is beautiful, clean, and classy - perfect for a wedding. The chapel has gorgeous chandeliers, massive windows, and great natural light. Their staff was attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. I cannot thank Julia enough. Without her, the whole wedding wouldn’t have been exactly what we dreamed of. My husband and I have talked about the day over and over again. Nothing could’ve been better. For the quality of the venue and service, Whitehall Columbia offered insane value. Really could not be any better. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a venue that has it all.
